Battle

While heading towards the Sonne, Melissa Herman contacted the Emmerian Air Force with the help from Zed Waters and gave them information regarding how to cripple Chandelier; the information was provided by Estovakian ace Victor Voychek. After receiving the data, Ghost Eye relayed the data to all participating Emmerian aircraft.[2]

Undeterred, the Emmerians fought hard, destroying multiple Estovakian defenses while losing several aircraft. Every so often, they had to break off their attacks in order to destroy Stauros shell before they were loaded, however, some missiles still managed to be launched. Thanks to Garuda Team, all the main cooling units were destroyed.[2]

However, the back-up cooling unit still remained inside the railgun facility, at the end of the loading chute. Braving heavy fire, Shamrock dove into the chute in order to obtain data on the back-up unit before suffering heavy damage and being forced to bail out. Talisman followed his wingman's route, flying into the chute and successfully taking out the cooling unit. Amidst the confusion, General Gustav Dvornik attempted to escape, however, he was shot down by Talisman. Following this, the barrel of the railgun opened up, revealing the location of Chandelier's core. Talisman then flew into the weapon's barrel and destroyed the core from the inside before narrowly escaping the resulting explosion.[2]

Aftermath

The destruction of the core resulted in the entire weapon collapsing.[2] There were no further attempts of retaliation by Estovakian officers and a coup d'etat in the Estovakian capital overthrew The Generals. The ceasefire agreement between Emmeria and Estovakia was signed later that month, restoring peace between the two nations.[1]
